Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf is the perfect way to introduce your grandchildren to the rich world of classical music. Sure, there are plenty of recordings of the famous piece, but now the London Philharmonic Orchestra breaks forth with a fresh CD that includes a wonderful narration by famed storyteller Yadu and a kid-friendly booklet. Little ones will have no trouble following along as each character is represented by an instrument in the orchestra. Within the booklet are such novel details as a mini lesson on the composer and his native Cyrillic, matching games, and info on traditional Russian instruments. Bonus tracks include moments with the conductor and the history of the composer, who wrote his first piece at the tender age of five. It's a good bet that his grandparents were proud.
